Hello everyone,
Well, todays my birthday ! and with apologies to Grannie G I've pinched her copyright to tell you how its gone so far ! (its one of the dates you try to pretend isn't happening - and how on earth can I be that old!! )
6.30 a.m. - climb out of bed to go to the loo - no lie in for me
7.00 a.m. - clear up cat poo - she's 18 and also has dementia
7.30 a.m. - catch husband bringing a lovely bouquet of pure white flowers out of the garage - he's managed to hide the black ribbon and sympathy card , but you can picture what the flowers look like!!
8.30 a.m. - wave goodbye to husband who's out for the whole day
9.00 a.m. - find a very long stick and an industrial strength pair of rubber gloves to start on the double incontinence washing which has been soaking in one of those bright plastic builders trugs on the patio overnight.
9.05 a.m. - find a dead frog in the washing !
9.10 a.m. - manage to spill the soaking water all over the patio as the trug is too heavy to lift
9.15 a.m. - finally get the washing on - and look longingly at a bottle of wine in the fridge - wondering if its too early to open it yet (but can't manage the corkscrew anyway with arthritic fingers ) - should I just break the neck off ?
9.20 a.m. - search for the large Dairy Milk bar which I know we've got somehwere but find the wrapper in the bin - hubby gets night starvation !
9.25 a.m. - ponder on the rest of the day - which really just involves visiting Mum and picking up more washing
AND THANK THE LORD THAT 99% OF PEOPLE READING THIS THREAD WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN AND WILL LAUGH WITH ME !!
Luv
germain
